A white man killed Robinson and wounded Kennedy after they kidnapped him, robbed him, and threatened to rape and kill his wife. |

In almost 17 percent of cases when a black man was killed by a non-Hispanic white civilian over the last three decades, the killing was categorized as justifiable, which is the term used when a police officer or a civilian kills someone committing a crime or in self-defense. Overall, the police classify fewer than 2 percent of homicides committed by civilians as justifiable.The use of quotes around "justifiable homicide" in the report is telling. It is possible that racism is a component in the disparity of the number of justifiable homicides where white people justifiably kill black people. But racism works both ways. There are numerous "hate whitey" threads in current urban black culture. An obvious alternative is that black men are far more likely to commit crimes that justify homicide against them by white people than white men are to commit crimes that justify homicide against them by black people.
The disparity persists across different cities, different ages, different weapons and different relationships between killer and victim.
To understand the gaps, The Marshall Project obtained dozens of data sets from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and examined various combinations of killer and victim. Two types of justifiable homicide are noted: felon killed by private citizen or felon killed by police officer. (In a bit of circular logic, the person killed is presumptively classified as a felon, since the homicide could be justified only if a life was threatened, which is a crime.)
In 2012, blacks committed 560,600 acts of violence against whites, and whites committed 99,403 acts of violence against blacks, according to data from the National Crime Victimization Survey provided to the author:The Marshall Project found that after adjustments, white on black homicides were found to be 4.7 times as likely to be justified as the average. That number is remarkable close the the disparity of black crime against white people.
Even after adjusting for the ages of the killer and victim, their relationship and the weapon used, the likelihood of a white-on-black-male case being called justifiable was still 4.7 times higher than in other cases.The Marshall Project report is marred by using only FBI Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) on justifiable homicides. Justifiable homicides recorded by the FBI system are known to be a fraction of the justifiable homicides that occur. Both Clayton Cramer and Gary Kleck have found that FBI UCR reports only catch about 1/5 of justifiable homicides. The Marshal Project report minimizes this elephant in the room by admitting that:
For instance, Trayvon Martins death is listed as simply other, not as justifiable, though his killer was later tried and acquitted. That could mean that justifiable cases of all kinds are underreported.Again, notice the quotes around "justifiable", even though a jury found that the killing of Treyvon Martin was justifiable. This happened in spite of the heavy hand of the media, and significant political pressure to convict George Zimmerman long before the facts of the case were heard.
NOTE: Justifiable homicide, by definition, occurs in conjunction with other offenses.Therefore,
the crime being committed when the justifiable homicide took place must be reported as a separate offense. Reporting agencies should take care to ensure that they do not classify a killing as justifiable or excusable solely on the claims of self-defense or on the action of a coroner, prosecutor, grand jury, or court.
The following scenario illustrates an incident known to law enforcement that reporting agencies would not consider Justifiable Homicide:
17. While playing cards, two men got into an argument. The first man attacked the second with a broken bottle. The second man pulled a gun and killed his attacker. The police arrested the shooter; he claimed self-defense.
“Black people illegally attack white people much more often than white people illegally attack black people.”
Now that is the damn truth.
Try telling that to an unhinged, batchit loony, raving and ranting, red-faced, spittle-flecked libtard.
And the crazy ones are even worse.
We live in a bizzaro world where academics analyzing statistics always see “racial disparities” as prima facie evidence of institutional bigotry and active discrimination.
Stagger Lee?
Why is the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin case relevant to white-on-black killings? Zimmerman is 3/8 Hispanic, 1/8 black, and 1/2 white. Historically people who were one-eighth black were counted as black, but the media labeled Zimmerman as white because it fit their agenda to do so.
The media seized upon the ease of the public mind in accepting Zimmerman as white because they wanted to promote the "white man kills black boy" meme.
They succeeded in doing so by ignoring/not reporting the facts of the situation and created a martyr where none would have otherwise existed.
The stupid liberal mind continues the myth.
It's why we call them stupid liberals.
They wanted a cause, they created one out of whole cloth...and now they believe it as though it came straight from the Gospel.
According to the latest statistics
White murderers kill white people 91 percent of the time and kill black people 7 percent of the time (leaving 2 percent shall we say unaccounted for). This is more or less, you know, proportionate to dah underlying population, or words to dat effect, know what I mean?
BUT
Black murderers, on de uder hand, they kill white people only 15 percent of the time. 15 percent I tells ya. And, black people, they kill other black people 83 effing percent of the time. Jezz! What do they have against black people?
It’s racist, I tell you. Racist.
They should have, you know, like an affirmative action plan or something, to get the numbers more, you know, proportionate. That’s it. Proportionate.
Like I was telling Vinny back at the club, youse better watch your numbers so you don’t give those EEOC people no prima facie evidence of racism. ‘Cause, you know, everybody’s lookin’ to muscle in to your territory.
Justifiable homicides should be strictly rationed by race and gender by a federal office to which application must be made and approved.
When blacks are 235 times more likely to commit murder than a white, it isn’t racism, it is prudence.
